LAMP BURNER.

Application filed February 1, 1922. Serial No. 533,276.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, RUSH ELKINs, a citizen of the United States. residing at Grilbert, in the county of Mingo and State of Vest Virginia, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Lamp Burners, or which the following is a specification.

T his invention relates to lamps and more particularly to a burner.

The primary object of this invention resides in the provision of a lamp burner which consists of an embodiment of elements that prevent the accidental displacement of the chimney from the oil reservoir. A further object oi? this invention resides in the provision of a lamp burner which consists of an embodiment oi elements that retain the lamp chimney in a secure position on the oil reservoir and securely dis poses the wick guide in the proper position. \Vith these and other objects in View this invention resides in certain novel features of construction and combination of elements which will he more fully set forth in the specification herewith and 'g'iointed out in the appended claim, it being understood that the right is reserved to resort such departures from the present disclosure us come within the scope of the claim.

In the accompanying drawing Figure 1 is a side view oi a portion of lamp showing a chimney supported thereon, by the burner which comprises this invention.

Figure 2 is an enlarged sectional View through the burner.

In the present embodiment of this invention tl e letter L designates the oil reservoir of a lamp which has an upstanding flange 1 40 that is provided with screw threads.

Removably engaged with said flange 1 is the screw threaded end 8 of a collar 5 adjacent the central portion of which it is pr0- vided with an annular head 9 which forms an annular channel for the reception of the base 10 of the wick guide 16. The aforesaid head supports the wick guide 16 and has a notched lug l4: pressed therefrom which is adapted to project within an annular groove 18 in the stem 20 of the wick lift to prevent .its displacement when in operative position.

The upper portion of the collar 5 is pro vided with screw threzuls (3 for the reception oi the screw threaded end 0 ot the chimney (I. thus rendering it impossible to displace the chimney by transporting the lamp tron) place to place.

ln the production ot a lamp of the above char cter it is manifest that the expense of manufacture is reduced to a minimum with the assurance that the cost of replacing the several parts and especially the chimney will be nearly eliminated.

Having thus described my invention what I claim is:

In an article of the character described, the combination with an oil reservoir, a collar supported. thereon. a wick guide supported by said collar a Wick lift having an annular groove in its stem, a lug on said wick guide and projecting in the annular groove of the stem of said wick lift, and a screw threaded chimney engaging said collar.

In testimony whereof, I allix my signature.

RUSH ELKINS.
